7. West Side of the 200 Block of 1st Avenue S
The J & M Cafe has occupied the southwest corner of 1st and Washington since the Klondike Gold Rush. It and the nearby Central Tavern ("Seattle's Only Second Class Tavern") were among the leading businesses in the Square's mid-1970s rebirth.
The west side of the block is anchored by the New England Hotel (1889), which marks the 1852 site of Doc Maynard's first home and Seattle's second log cabin.
